Chapter 22 Before Departure
At ten o'clock in the morning, the mist was still there, the morning and dusk lines in the sky were still mottled by the alternation of the sun and the moon, and the remaining stars were faintly fading in the rising daylight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
From late at night, a deliberately suppressed noise can be heard from the silent Karlsten Mansion, where a steady stream of people travel from place to place in the mansion until they converge into a wide courtyard where the standing lawn is illuminated by torch-filled railings.
"Master Kursius, do you really want to leave now?" Phyllis looked apprehensively at the owner of the window.
Kuerxiu, who was watching the crowd gathered in the courtyard, turned his head to look at him calmly, "Well, arriving at the battlefield early can make the soldiers more familiar with the situation, after all, none of us know what will happen." ”
"Yes. Phyllis bowed and nodded.
"Are you sure Ronnie is still asleep?!" Before leaving, Kursius thought of his stupid brother again.
"Yes. Speaking of this, Phyllis couldn't help laughing out loud and said proudly, "Philip-chan released healing magic to Young Master Ronnie, and the meow with the effect of sleeping soundly will definitely not wake up until noon, hehe." ”
"That's good. Glancing at the ore clock on the wall, Kursius said in a deep voice, "In a quarter of an hour, the whole team will set off. Wilhelm ......"
"Yes!" Wilhelm, who was wearing half of his leather armor and carrying six long swords on either side of his waist, stepped forward and responded.
"Inform the Knights of the Guards that martial law can begin on the main road leading to the plain of Legislature, and our army is about to depart. The sonorous and firm words, accompanied by the steps of Kurxiu's departure, drifted away in the study.
"Yes!"
Since the end of the Great Expedition fourteen years ago, Wilhelm, who has lived for revenge, raised his scorching eyes. From now on, he can finally avenge his wife, who died tragically in Moby Dick's minions, and all the wait is worth it.
After today, he will either live or die, and there is no other third possibility.
"Report the head of the regiment. Nenter tapped twice on the door, holding a page of paper stained with red ink.
"Come in. Marcos's consistent tone came from inside, and after Wang Xuan, he regarded the office as his own home, and always maintained a 24-hour on-call situation.
"Head Marcos, this is a document from the Karlsten family. Nenter, who had walked briskly, placed the papers on his desk, stepped back and stood straight, waiting for orders.
"Go and call all the current captains to my office. His gaze lingered on the document for a moment, and Marcus began to give orders.
"Yes. The young knight hurriedly retired.
Without the slightest intention of opening the file to check, Marcos who stood up looked at Luganica's map on the wall, the red border outlined the rich borders of the kingdom, and now the most likely to become the master of this kingdom, Kurxiu, who took over the duke from his father half a month ago, finally made her loud first sound.
The news of the Karlsten family's recruitment of warriors is naturally impossible to hide from the Guards Knights who defend the royal capital, and it can even be said that there is a shadow of the Guards Knights interfering behind it. Long before the start of the Cur Sho project, he had already made several appointments with Markos to discuss various matters.
After all, it was a crusade of nearly two hundred people, and it was in the center of the kingdom. I want to gather as if no one was around, and then wave my troops to defeat the monsters. Without talking to the largest armed organization in the royal capital, it is absolutely impossible to say hello and ventilate in advance, even if it is the chosen one.
But can she really succeed? Moby Dick, a monster that has not been killed in 400 years, Lord Kurxiu, why do you want to challenge such a creature that everyone is afraid to avoid?
Marcos's thoughts were interrupted by a succession of his subordinates, six of whom were physically fit and heroic, all of whom were the elite of the Guards' Regiment.
"Carona, is there any news from the Knight Captain Rheinharut. Marcos asked his men on the far left, a noble knight with curly yellow hair.
"Master Marcos, the news he received last night is already the latest record of the Knight Chief, and he has repeatedly confirmed that there is no trace of the Witch Priest in the south. Carona stepped forward and said, "Do you want to send a backbone to continue to scout the south?"
"No, Rheinharut's home is in the south, let him take care of it. Marcus, who was troubled by the Witch Sect who came and went without a shadow, continued to ask, "What about Count Rozval? ”
"The report to the head of the delegation has been reconfirmed. The Earl is still keeping his last word, and there are a few petty thieves in the realm, and I hope we don't care. ”
"Okay. "As for the old fox, Marcos can only ignore it first, after all, he ventured into a count's territory to reconnoitre, and he was also suspected of overstepping his authority for the Knights of the Guard.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Captain Marcus, who was holding the table with his hands on his hand, finally began to talk about the real purpose of summoning them this time, "As you can see, with the Chosen King, the number of people with ill intentions in the kingdom has begun to increase lately. The Order will add two more brigades to the headquarters after today's windy time. ”
"Yes!" the six figures replied in unison.
"Dore, you now go to the main road of Lifengs in the northern city of Libeicheng, and no one else is allowed to pass through except for the troops of Lord Kurxiu. ”
"Yes!" the named captain saluted, holding his sword.
"I'm sorry Captain, do you mean that Lord Kursiu's plan is about to begin?" asked one of the captains, with an unbelievable tone and anticipation.
"Yes. In response to his subordinates' questions, Marcos nodded, "After you go out, go to the city gate to work overtime, Riado." ”
"I fully understand, Commander, I apologize heavily for the rude I just had. The spirited Rivado could not hide the joy on his face, and he did not even feel sad about being punished by Marcos.
"Let's all go out, the battle against the monsters will start now. ”
"Yes!" the six knights replied.
Columns of heavily armed Guards knights pulled their Earth Dragon mounts from the nursery and ran into the misty streets in small formations.
Starting from the guard room in the SC district, the knights patrolling along the main road will lead all the way to the avenue of the North City Gate, surrounded by watertight water. Some drunks who were not eye-opening were invited to the interrogation room of the headquarters for physical and mental exchanges.
After about ten minutes, in a neat two-row queue, the troops set off from the mansion. Under the leadership of the leader Kurshu, set foot on this deserted street.
Many early risers quietly peeked into the street from the windows on the second floor of their homes, and those who had been a little more experienced thought that the long-lost war was coming again, and they panicked.
The sound of uniform footsteps resounded like thunder in the deserted streets, and Arashi, who had not slept all night, put down his wine glass, faced the gradually whitening sky, and said with a light smile:
"It's time to start. ”
